i used to eat a loaf of bread from vesuvio every day, back when i lived around the corner, many years ago. i was broke (living in a one-bedroom with three other young women), and a loaf was $1.25 or $1.50- add a 40 from the bodega across the street and i had dinner.
as much as i'd like to see vesuvio maintained as it was forever (loaves and all), birdbath bakes a mean 'health' croissant, offers discounts to those who arrive on bikes, and sells recycled-plastic toothbrushes. if vesuvio has to be 'upgraded' better this than turning it into a speakeasy or a dessert bar. or a marc jacobs sock store.
